Hi all, I need to write an aptitude provider for Debian. How should it differ from apt? Can I just s/apt/aptitude/g, or do I need to do something else? Any other weird behaviours I should look for or whatever? I''ll make it a subclass of apt (and since Deb seems to specify aptitude as the default now, maybe apt should...

Hi all, I suffered a lot for the terrific performance of aptitude on a BTRFS filesystem. I don''t think that BTRFS is a slow filesystem, but it seems that some aptitude (or dpkg) patterns are capable to highlight the btrfs slowness in some corner case. In order to alleviate this problem, I wrote a small script which calls aptitude with the LD_PRELOAD...

I''ve checked its networking. ping is working fine. As I''m in LAN, I''ve configured eth0 properly. But can''t understand why I''m not able...

What with the impending release and a now fixed bug nagging me, I''m testing puppet [2556] from subversion. There have been changes in packages, I used to have Package { provider => "aptitude", } in my default.pp, but that doesn''t work anymore, and changing package to type or removing the declaration doesn''t help. How do package providers work now? Here are the error messages: # with provider => aptitude err: Could not create openssh-server: Invalid parameter...

Hi, I'm trying to get the Hmisc module on my Ubuntu Hardy Heron install. I tried getting Hmisc from within R by issuing the standard 'install.packages' command, but it said I needed 'gfortran' to compile. I thought I could circumvent this by using 'aptitude' to get the package 'r-cran-hmisc', but when I got it, the package had critical missing parts (got 404s). So, I'll be trying to go back and download 'gfortran', but can anybody tell me if this aptitude ubuntu package should be kept up to date and is just currently overlooke...

Guys Compliments of the festive season to everyone. Ive looked at mcollective plugins from http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/mcollective-plugins/wiki And I tried / installed some of them. What im looking for is a method or really a mcollective plugin to ''aptitude safe-upgrade'' on my test VMs. Would anyone have a solution or method on how I can go about this. The only other solution I can think of, is to use capistrano (which is the reason for this email, as im not entirely satisfied with that solution) and then have puppet manage my public key....

Among other things, I have tried everything that is discussed here: http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users/browse_thread/thread/af7349171a5821a4/db96b809c97f6006 but none of that really works. What I would like, is for Puppet to run `aptitude update` before it installs or upgrades packages. That doesn''t seem out of the ordinary to me, but I can''t make it work in Puppet. The approach I like best, is this one: class apt-update { exec { "/usr/bin/aptitude update": refreshonly => true...

Dear friends, Sorry for this somewhat generically titled posting but I had a question with using contrasts in a manova context. So here is my question: Suppose I am interested in doing inference on \beta in the case of the model given by: Y = X %*% \beta + e where Y is a n x p matrix of observations, X is a n x m design matrix, \beta is m x p matrix of parameters, and e is a
